Testosterone for Women

Testosterone is the primary sex hormone in men that promotes the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, but it’s not only a male hormone. Although it is predominantly produced in the testes, testosterone is also produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands of women.

As women go through menopause, their testosterone production may decrease, which can lead to symptoms like low libido, reduced muscle mass and strength, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and even osteoporosis.

However, supplementing testosterone levels with HRT has been shown to help women combat these testosterone-specific symptoms that can result from menopausal hormone fluctuations. Read more about testosterone for women and the benefits of HRT for relieving menopause symptoms.
